Awesome!
5 out of 5 stars.
I could not have asked for anything better. Not only was it a savings, but it proved to be everything as advertised. Very pleased!

Thumbs down to relaibility but thumbs UP to picure quality
2 out of 5 stars.
The DV input broke. Send for repair got it fixed but broke again while buring DVDs. I get screen freez after few minutes of recording.

Samsung is sending brand new uunit model DVD-R160. Will have to see how it works.

It broke too soon!
1 out of 5 stars.
After recording a few DVDs it broke. It freezes in the middle of recording. Has all the features one may not use but it lacks reliability. Currently awaiting a replacement shipped to me. It may only be limited to one defective unit I received out of bad luck or may be a general problem. Will know after receiving and using the replacement unit.

Image looks very good
4 out of 5 stars.
I bought this DVD to use with my HDTV. Image is great ! It upscales old dvds to 1080, very good. The recorder works very fine too, with very good quality when recording in 2 or 4 hours.
For me the only problem is that I cannot unlock it to region free...

problem recording with the hdmi out cable
4 out of 5 stars.
This is my first dvd recorder. It plays divx fine and I play dvds on the hdmi out to my hdtv. The best quality in is svideo. The best quality out is hdmi or svideo.
The biggest problem is recording from the hd cable drv box- IF I use a svideo cable to the hdtv it will record any channel to dvd but if I have a hdmi cable plugged in to the hdtv the recorder won't record nothing- all the channels say copy protection. So basically I have to swap cables so that I can watch dvds in the best quality(hdmi) or if I want to record to dvd(svideo).
It won't remove commercials during recording.
What I have recorded, looks great and plays fine.
